Wind and Walls - The Tallest Man On Earth

Well, ‘All is well in order' is what you thought you heard them say

and so you drifted off to see what’s not in yourself

Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains?

No more nights of what you wrote back then,

no relief of no rain

And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within

and telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings

Nothing’s more revealing than the dancer and the doubt

waving to forget what’s never gone, always there, never right

In all these riots of broken sounds

Like the last voice you heard

Then you drowned, oh lord

You know, this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails

and minnows in your pockets when the rapid’s on trails

this is not the future but I sense it’s right up there

oh, just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere

In all these riots of broken sounds

And you sleep on the track every night

Oh lord

And we don’t know if your treasure is safe

where will you be when they find you, son?

And you know they’re always following me

so when I get there you trust me son, and just leave,

I’ll catch up

This is where you’re passionate of seasons and their strength

and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end

Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest

so lay it on the plains where there is time, there is love, there is rest

From all these riots of broken sounds

When you sleep on the track every night

Oh lord

And we don’t know if your treasure is safe

where will you be when they find you, son?

And you know they’re always following me

I’ll be the best when the silence comes.
